Reviews for Elizabeth Cady Stanton

[jroy218 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

"Elizabeth Cady Stanton: Women's Rights Pioneer" is a biographical account of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's mission to earn women the right to vote. It follows her journey from fighting her father to allow her to go to high school, to her marriage, to her working with Women's Suffrage Groups, and her friendship with Susan B. Anthony. It would be a great introductory book on Stanton for younger readers. It is written in a comic book/graphic novel style that would appeal to many young reluctant readers. It includes a glossary, internet sites for more information, other books, and a bibliography. I believe it would leave readers wanting to have more information on this topic.

Summary: Elizabeth Stanton was one of the first women to stand up for women’s rights in America. This book brings her to life in a graphic novel format. The story covers her life and her many contributions to history. Personal: I find it ironic that I took notes over Elizabeth Stanton in my history class just before I find this book in my children’s lit. class. She was an amazing woman with more courage than most women have today. This book brings her to the attention of younger readers in a format that they would be drawn to. Classroom Extension: Social Studies: Any lesson about women’s rights, the constitutional amendments, or early American society could be tied into this book. Public Speaking: There are times throughout children’s education that they will be required to speak in front of their class or an assembly. They could gain inspiration from Elizabeth Stanton and her speeches.

This was an informative graphic novel that highlights the life of Elizabeth Cody Stanton who was a pioneer who crusaded for women’s right to vote. During the mid-1800s, women had no rights, they could not own land, go to college, or hold professional jobs. When Elizabeth met Susan B Anthony they began advocating for African Americans, to abolish slavery. When the fourteenth amendment allowed only black males to vote, these female activists decided to end their alliance with the abolitionists. Then they began fighting for women’s rights exclusively. These pioneering women efforts and the suffrage movement they established would lead to the women’s right to vote in 1920.Personal Response: I had never read a graphic novel narrated in comic book style. This nonfiction story of Elizabeth Cody Stanton was illustrated well and informative. I enjoyed reading this comic lenght book. There were no onamatopoeia in this particular graphic novel. Classroom Extensions:1.Comics can scaffold students toward more difficult reading.Can be used as a bridge for struggling readers.2.In middle school, when studying history the students could get together and write about what they learn in comic book fashion. This would allow them to be artistic and introduce them to dialog writing, which could help students who fear writing.

The story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton is told well in the graphic novel format. I enjoyed that it used actual words that Elizabeth spoke in her speeches.This book would be good to use for a program where you draw your own graphic novel biography.

This is a Biography of a woman I never heard of! She sought women's voting rights and the end of slavery. I like the fact he family continued on, after her death to seek women's sufferage. Eventually, of course sufferage was granted.I not a fan of history, it is a shame because history is what made me who I am today. If it was not like people like Stanton, I would not be able to vote and I would be a slave. 1. In the classroom,I would have students to write a persasive paper on why women should be given the right to vote2. As a fun and challenging classroom exercise, I would would divde the class in to groups for and against women rights. The groups would be required to debate why they are for and against women's sufferage. This will give students a understanding of what Stanton went through in court t.

This graphic novel is about a woman named Elizabeth Cady Staton who wanted to change the laws where both men and women can vote. At this time, during conventions, women had to sit behind a curtain and their opinion did not matter. The men always discussed why it is unfair for one man to own another but never discuseed the unfairness of women. Eventually, she and other women planned a Woman's Rights Convention and Kansas became the first state to legalize women to vote. In 1920, after she died, the United States passed the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote.I enjoyed this book because it is also a nonfiction book. It tells about what women had to go through in order for their voice to be heard. This is an important topic that many people ignore and should be emphasized just as much as slavery, the holocaust, and other historical events In the classroom, I would have a unit on amendments and rights that were passed and who supported these rights. I would also have the class do writing assignments in which they would pick a woman that was famous in history and write about them. They would be able to present this in the classroom.
